I'm in One Piece, and I'm Luffy's childhood friend.

Nami sighed and walked over to Usopp and Baiyun.

"Usopp, you still have the treasure map, right?"

"Yes, but the words are smudged, and the whale's tail pointing west is also wrong."

"Perhaps gold is just a legend."

Usopp looked disappointed. Who doesn't like gold? Of course, he was disappointed if he couldn't find it.

"Impossible! Wu Nan would never lie!" Tobio suddenly interjected, after all, Wu Nan was his idol, and of course he had to defend him.

Nami confidently accepted the treasure map, "No, maybe it's not a stain."

He immediately squatted down on the spot.

Bai Yun flashed in front of Luffy and Zoro, learned Kuro's Silent Step, and immediately mastered it after the effect wore off, becoming more and more proficient with each use.

Back then, he didn't replicate one of the Six Powers of the Navy on Garp. He didn't know how to shave. If it weren't for the fact that one person could only replicate one power, he would have replicated all of Garp's Six Powers long ago. Shaving is better than Silent Step.

He chopped two men directly on the head with his hands. "Alright, stop fooling around, you two, Crouching Dragon and Phoenix Chick."

"Let's see if Nami has any good ideas."

........

Nami squatted down, holding the treasure map in one hand and taking out a lighter in the other, placing it under the treasure map to heat up the stain.

"Maybe it's not a stain. I've seen it before; some treasure maps use special methods to cover up the information."

Bai Yun bent down and looked from behind, nodding in agreement. It seemed that such a material did exist, but he had only seen it on TV.

"It's here, something's here."

Nami said with a hint of excitement.

Then, in a flash, the entire treasure map turned to ashes.

"......"

"......"

"Let's sail towards the Grand Line!"

Nami tried to hide her embarrassment.

"Don't give the impression that you're trying to get away with this!"

Usopp yelled.

Bai Yun shook his head and walked up to the whale to take a closer look.

"Head facing east, tail facing west?"

Walking to the whale's tail, Bai Yun was speechless; the tail really wasn't facing west.

"Hey everyone, come and take a look."

Bai Yun called everyone over, and Usopp, upon seeing them, suddenly understood.

The whale's tail didn't point west; instead, it turned and headed deeper south.

Looking up, you can see the tallest mountain on the island.

........

The group climbed halfway up the mountain and went into a cave to rest. Unexpectedly, Iwazo was there too, with a pot on his head.

"Grandpa, you..."

Dobio was puzzled, but Iwazo smiled.

“Wu Nan loves high places the most, and the top of this mountain is the highest point on this island.”

It turns out that Iwazang and Wunan knew each other since childhood and were good friends.

Because their parents worked hard all their lives and only found a piece of gold less than the size of a little finger.

Wu Nan's dream is to go to sea and collect all the gold in the world.

But Iwazo's dream was simply to make the best oden in the world.

The two got into a fight because of a disagreement.

Then Wu Nan accidentally fell off the cliff, but Yan Zang caught him in time.

But then the classic cliff edge collapsed, and both of them fell. In the critical moment, Wu Nan made a pirate flag and hung it on a tree on the cliff.

But a piece of cloth cannot support the weight of two people, even if they are children.

To fulfill Wu Nan's wish, Yan Zang willingly let go of his hand and fell down.

"do you died?"

Engrossed in listening, Luffy quickly pressed for more information.

Chapter 68 My brother is amazing!

Listening to Iwazo recount his story with Unan.

Even Tobio, his own grandson, didn't know that Iwazo had known Unan since childhood.

Hearing that the two disagreed and started fighting, and then accidentally fell off a cliff together, and that Iwazo chose to let go of Unan, Luffy listened intently and couldn't help but ask.

"do you died?"

Everyone: "..."

"Why are you silent? Does that mean you're dead?"

Luffy asked again, looking rather naive.

"How is that possible?!"

The others couldn't hold back any longer and transformed into fangs, shouting.

Bai Yun patted Luffy on the shoulder, "If we die, guess who this uncle telling us stories will be?"

During the brain's reaction...

"So you're not dead, hahaha, that's good."

Luffy laughed, "It's good that you're not dead."

Iwazo sighed and continued telling the story.

After what happened on the cliff.

“I was rescued by a passing ship. The villagers said it was a once-in-a-century miracle.”

"But for the next two weeks, I could only stay in bed and rest."

"When I woke up, Wu Nan had already gone out to sea, and we haven't met since."

It turns out that during the time Iwazo was bedridden, Wu Nan sewed up the pirate flag that had been torn in half, and then took this special pirate flag with him to sea. Iwazo has not seen Wu Nan since.

The pot on Iwazo's head is filled with the oden he cooked.

This was a promise he made to Wu Nan. He was going to cook the best oden in the world for Wu Nan, which is why he climbed this mountain and bumped into Luffy and his crew in a cave halfway up the mountain.

Bai Yun thought to himself, given his age, he had never heard of Wu Nan's deeds in the East Sea; perhaps he simply didn't care.

But Huang Jinlong and the others just said that the treasure map was stolen from Wu Nan's companions, and they all killed them.

Having left his companions, showing no signs of action, and not returning home, it's most likely...

.......

"So, Grandpa, you..."

Tobio was conflicted. He realized his grandfather knew his idol, but why did his grandfather, a childhood friend, only dream of making oden (Japanese hot pot)? He couldn't understand...

"Haha, the best oden in the world, that's a great dream for an old man."

"Your oden is really delicious."

Luffy never mocks other people's dreams, but respects them.

"Really? Thank you then."

"Let's go, don't keep Wu Nan waiting too long, the oden will get cold and won't taste good."

Iwazo responded with a smile, got up, dusted himself off, and his smile carried a hint of joy at seeing an old friend.

........

After another round of struggle, the group finally reached the top of the mountain.

But the mountaintop didn't look like a place where anyone lived.

Even plants cannot grow on it; it's no exaggeration to call it a ruin.

Amidst the ruins, a dilapidated wooden house remains, swaying precariously in the howling sea wind, like a candle flickering in the wind.

There is a room.

Luffy shouted as soon as he saw the house, and then ran over.

Tobio followed closely behind, after all, he was going to see his idol.

.......

When everyone entered the house, they found it empty; even thieves would have to throw in two bags of rice before leaving.

The ground was covered in dust, and the corners of the walls were covered in cobwebs.

Seeing this, Iwazo seemed to have guessed something, and the smile on his face disappeared.

But Tobio still looked excited; he really is just a little kid.

The house had no furniture, only a fireplace.

Zoro sensed something was amiss, so he walked over and pushed the fireplace to the right with one hand.

Beneath the fireplace lies another secret: a staircase leads to the basement.

"What? There was a mechanism there? Zoro, you're so clever!!"

Luffy immediately chimed in.
